The need for ShredIt
Because throwing data in the computer trash does not remove the file contents from the hard drive, the data can be recovered by someone else. Many users want to erase sensitive data to mitigate the risk of it being recovered. In addition, users who need to dispose of confidential data on an ongoing basis need a fast way to shred files without having to erase their entire trash can or entire hard drive. Users who want to erase the contents of a hard drive before disposing of a computer need an easy way to erase the drive so that they can do the job successfully.
